A gas cloud

Title: A gas cloud
LC Subject: Armed Forces Soldiers
Description: The gas attacks, first used by the Germans with serious effect, have now largely lost their terrors for all our soldiers are supplied with gas masks and taught to adjust them quickly, an operation which can be accomplished in about six seconds in case of necessity. The first stage in the training with these masks is the practice in putting them on and replacing them in the case so that they will be immediately available the next time they are needed. Later, as in this view, a fas cloud is released, into which the men go with their masks adjusted. An offensive or nauseating, but not dangerous gas, is used in the first experiments. As the soldiers’ skills increase they make excursions into regions filled with dangerous gases, possibly a gas house, or a deep trench filled with deadly fumes in which he can be observed from above.
